Mother's Day has been set aside nationally as a time for people everywhere to honor their mothers, but this can be an especially hard time of year for someone who's recently lost their mom. To help members of our audience cope with their grief, Hospice of Michigan's Karen Monts, director of grief support services, and Margaret Martin, grief support services manager, will explain that while the bereaved often face Mother's Day with dread, it does get easier and, in time, you will once again find joy in the day. They will recommend techniques for finding comfort and answer your questions about the grieving process. Join us for a live chat 1 p.m. Wednesday.
